IMPROVEMENT IN SCROLL-SAW TABLES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 149,952, dated April 21, 1874; application tiled January 31, 1874.

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, GEORGE H. PATULLO, ot' Dexter, in the county of I/Vashtenaw and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Scroll-Saw rlable, of which the following is a specification:

This invention relates to the mode of adjusting the tables of scroll and similar saws for sawing scrolls or other forms, square or on a bevel; and consists in the construction and arrangement of parts, by means of which the table is rotated on its pedestal while standing level or at any desired angle with the saw.

In the aecompanyin g drawing, Figure lis a side elevation, partly in section, showing the table on a level or at right angles with the saw. Fig. 2 is a vertical section oi' Fig. l, taken on the line Similar letters of reference indicate corre! spending parts.

A is a tubular stand or pedestal, which rests upon the bench B, and is, of course, stationary. O is the saw. D is the rod or strap which connects the saw with the lower arm E of the saw-gate. F is the upper arm, with which the end ofthe saw is connected. G is a screw-nut, by means of which the saw is given the proper tension. The saw and connecting-rod D play through the stationary pedestal A. H is the table. I is a sleeve on the pedestal or stand A. J J are arms, which are rigidly attached to the sleeve, upon the ends K K of which the table rests. These ends are rounded, and enter rounded cavities in the under sideof the table, and the table turns upon them as upon hinges. L L are semieircular bars, the ends of which are rigidly attached to the under side of the table. These semicircular bars extend on two opposite sides of the sleeve, below the arms J J, having each aslot, M, therein, by

means of which they are fastened to the sleeve by set-screws N N when the table is to be made fast, at'ter being properly adjusted. These slots allow the table to be fastened at a level, or at right angles with the saw, or at any other desired angle. Ordinarily an angle of forty- .iive degrees would be the limit; but the table be made fast at any desired angle, with temporary guides attached. The table is, therefore, adapted for all kinds of sawing. The different adjustments are made simple and substantial, with no part likely to break or get out of order.

Having thus described my invention, I

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A scroll-saw table constructed and arranged to operate substantially as shown and def' seribed-that is, having pedestal A, sleeve I, arms J J, (with rounds K K, on which the table rests and turns,) slotted semicircles L L, and set-screws N N and O, arranged substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
